Dive deep into sample models, built with our Python API.
Staffing problems – which require difficult decisions about the recruitment, training, layoffs, and scheduling of workers – are common across a broad range of manufacturing and service industries. In this example, you’ll learn how to model and solve a complex staffing problem by creating an optimal multi-period operation plan that minimizes the total number of layoffs and costs. More information on this type of model can be found in example #5 of the fifth edition of Model Building in Mathematical Programming by H. Paul Williams on pages 256 – 257 and 303 – 304. This modeling example is at the advanced level, where we assume that you know Python and the Gurobi Python API and that you have advanced knowledge of building mathematical optimization models. Typically, the objective function and/or constraints of these examples are complex or require advanced features of the Gurobi Python API.
Learn MoreTry this modeling example to discover how mathematical optimization can help telecommunications firms automate and improve their technician assignment, scheduling, and routing decisions in order to ensure the highest levels of customer satisfaction. This modeling example is at the intermediate level, where we assume that you know Python and are familiar with the Gurobi Python API. In addition, you have some knowledge about building mathematical optimization models. To fully understand the content of this notebook, you should be familiar with object-oriented-programming.
Learn MoreIn this example, you’ll learn how to solve a critical, central problem in the services industry: workforce scheduling. We’ll demonstrate how you can use mathematical optimization to generate an optimal workforce schedule that meets your business requirements, maximizes employee fairness and satisfaction, and minimizes the number of temporary workers your company needs to hire. This modeling example is at the advanced level, where we assume that you know Python and the Gurobi Python API and that you have advanced knowledge of building mathematical optimization models. Typically, the objective function and/or constraints of these examples are complex or require advanced features of the Gurobi Python API.
Learn MoreMathematical optimization uses the power of math to find the best possible solution to a complex, real-life problem. You input the details of your problem—the goals you want to achieve, the limitations you’re facing, and the variables you control—and the mathematical optimization solver will calculate your optimal set of decisions.
80% of the world’s leading companies use mathematical optimization to make optimal business decisions. For example, Air France uses it to build the most efficient schedule for its entire fleet, in order to save on fuel and operational costs, while reducing delay propagation.
Descriptive and predictive analytics show you what has happened in the past, why it happened, and what’s likely to happen next. But to decide what to do with that information, you need human input—which can introduce bias.
With mathematical optimization, you receive a decision recommendation based on your goals, constraints, and variables alone. You can, of course, involve human input when it comes to whether or not to act on that recommendation. Or you can bypass human input altogether and automate your decision-making.
